681-1. For safe use
GS350_250_OM_OM30E16E_(EE)
CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must
be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on
the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind-
shield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to
the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when
the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (→P. 5 6 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top strap
should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top strap anchor
for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and
always move the seat as far back as possible because the front passenger airbag
could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the
SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the
child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not
secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a
sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

■Items to check before locking the vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure of the fol-
lowing:

901-2. Theft deterrent system
GS350_250_OM_OM30E16E_(EE)
■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are can-
celed.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the engine switch
or unlocking the doors using the entry function, wireless remote control or
mechanical key will re-enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the
alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject
to repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such asleaves and insects inside the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices such as the intrusion sensors of other
vehicles
• The movement of people outside the vehicle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accesso-
ries or clothes hanging on the coat hooks,
are in the vehicle.
